There is glory in any little thing you
do simply from a sense of duty.
It’s much easier to convince others
than it is to convince one’s self.
Listeners hear as little good about

When a man begins to argue with his
conscience as to whether a thing is
right or wiong, the chauces are that it
is wrong.
